Margaret Atwood spins a darkly comedic tale of friendship, aging, and unexpected revenge. The story tracks a trio of elderly women as they grapple with the challenges of growing older and seek justice against men for past grievances against their friend. This short story delves into the complexities of human relationships, regret, the passage of time, and revenge. Odd and clever.
